After editing the script yesterday, I asked Matt and Max if they were free to do a final recording for our animation so I could begin to edit the final recordings and put together an animatic and so on. They agreed (as they always do) however this time I was lot more strict on them and didn't allow for them to add lib and distract each other, as I wanted them to sound as clean as possible. Despite these efforts however we were dealing with Matt and Max and it took a lot longer than it should have and I'm not 100% sure we have a clean edit of Matt's character at all. Other than this Matt and Max did a fine job in the sound booths and I feel that we have enough recordings to edit and create our voice overs with.
This experience taught me a lot in terms of directing because I had to really take control of the situation and encourage them to be professional and do what they were supposed to rather than mess around. This is something I struggle with, as I don't like to upset people and I actually feel that this experience has been very beneficial to me because it allowed me to gain a little more confidence in my choices and ideas and to share them with others.
Katy and I struggled a little with the voice of the robin because Katy couldn't decide on what accent she wanted to go for. All of her attempts to sound slightly higher pitched than she is resulted in the voice sounding a lot older and as though it should belong to an old lady rather than a bored robin presenter. However, in the end we did manage to get a recording that we can work with, although we may have to record Katy's parts again if we aren't 100% happy.
(I'd post the recordings but there are too many - sorry!).
